"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

Ann Palizzi Speaks Out

Here is a link to the KSL television interview with Ann Palizzi, mother of Kristy Ragsdale. It is her first public appearance since Kristy's murder. (Incidentally, Ann told me that this two-minute clip was extracted from a 2 1/2-hour interview.) [Sorry, this link is no longer functional.--Dallan]

(Since so many have visited this blog in search of information about the Palizzi and Ragsdale families, I have added a heading under "Posts by Topic", which will lead you to each of my posts concerning Kristy and her family.)
